Pizza, pasta, and donuts are mostly agricultural commodities that we've been eating as a species for as long as we've been civilized. They're really not terribly interesting (or scandalous) from a dietary perspective.
They're just contrary to one or more recent diet fads.
What Silicon Valley hipsters are likely to object to are "indentured servant" visas. This is one problem with the low skill illegals actually. The situation helps create an underclass that can be easily abused.
That's what H1Bs are for, they are a tool to abuse labor.
I've always said that if a guy's talents are worth importing, then it's worth importing that guy as an EQUAL.
I really don't see Silicon Valley hipsters doing that kind of whining. If anything, the Silicon Valley hipsters are more likely to be bleeding hearts. It's the midwestern tea bagger trailer trash that are most likely to whine about illegal immigrants as if they were within 1000 miles of one.
That post was very much on topic. Republicans love to waste money on wars but refuse to adequately fund education at any level. They are a reflection of our currently sociopathic corporate culture that treats people as disposable.
That's nice and sensational but that still probably doesn't add up to all of the damage that's being done by all of the fracking going on. That stuff just happens under the radar or gets suppressed if anyone tries to bring it up.
Fracking is so bad that even Texas municipalities have started banning it.
Actually, treating auto homicide as simple homicide is redundant and only seems to serve to reduce the punitive effect of more specialized laws. If you are danger to yourself and others on the road, it really shouldn't matter what the "root cause" is. Any of the other traffic violations would do.
You could even distill it down to a small list of things that almost mirror the common law crimes.
Redundant laws add complexity that may serve no useful purpose.
As long as Barney Fife is armed, smarter gangsters will always have a ready source of guns. One of our recent mass shooters even managed to steal the rifle he used from the local rent-a-goon.
Plus there's a recent escalation in the militarization of our police that needs to be undone before any thought of disarming the citizenry can even be considered.
> The whole point is that it shouldn't be a constitutional right to have guns.
There is a nice change control method built into the document in question. All you have to do is to get enough people to agree with you.
Some people find that too difficult apparently. Then they pretend that they could just magically confiscate guns from all of the law abiding types that they disagree with. Never mind the criminals.
There's plenty of stuff like this on both sides. Measures that are clearly more difficult than advocates like to let on. Things that the nation has no will to implement. Things that come with a lot of complications no one is willing to admit to.
There are also measures that are clearly contrary to well established jurisprudence or well established common political values.
...so you would be comfortable discussing your porn viewing preferences with your boss? Or your parents? Or just anyone that might be paying attention to your Facebook feed?
I would be quite surprised if the answer to any of those was yes.
Decades ago, the ads on TV weren't nearly annoying. The ads themselves were far less obnoxious. There were also less of them. They also did not creep across the content either.
Modern TV advertising practices exist in an era where cord cutters seem to be finally impacting the bottom line of cable operators.
If I manage to block ads, that's just a fortunate coincidence. What I block are scripts from untrusted sources. I don't want to load scripts from 20 other sites that are not under the control of the website I happen to be viewing.
That's like running all of those attachments you get in your inbox (or not depending on how good your spam filters are).
...except MySQL supports and encourages crapulence out of the box. It does simple fundemental things poorly. It will allow developers to do stupid things that won't be tolerated by any RDBMS. Even it's SQL support is crippled.
It's a quick and easy product for developers that don't know any better and don't want to know any better.
Well then, that's just part of the bargain. As long as the consumer has informed consent it's all good. Of course people are notoriously good at kidding themselves or just plain not caring.
Alternately you can view it as a system where you stockpile things that you like that can be watched on demand versus all sorts of garbage that's scheduled whenever someone else wants.
Paying less for option A is still better even if it is a false sense of ownership.
It won't have a significant enough impact on your daily calorie deficit but it will help keep your metabolism from shifting down into idle or "emergency mode".
A lot of actual Windows users thought that the UI in Windows 8 SUCKED. It's not just Linux users. Win8 was like Vista. The fact that there is even a Win 8.1 is an artifact of how badly genuine Windows users reacted to Win8.
Pretending that this is just the complaints of Linux users is extremely disingenuous.
An improved task manager doesn't do anyone any good if they hide all of the most abusive activities behind a generic service name that obscures what's actually going on. Did they fix that problem?
Beyond that, the tools are already there in Linux/Unix to drill down in very interesting ways to see how processes are misbehaving.
The relative transparency of Unix is one of it's cooler features.
I am not even sure if enterprise desktop customers do either. The OS is probably just something they view as part of the "package".
This is like whining that the Internet killed off physical media. People have been used to paying nothing for the OS pretty much for the entire history of home computing.
Only a small enthusiast niche cares enough about the OS or is even aware of it's existence.

Warnings belong on food labels, not websites.
You still haven't gotten to the part where it's an actual crime.
Some idealized notion of crime and punishment that only exists in your head does not count.
What is the crime?

Really. Oracle is not nearly that bad. If your OPS team can't manage a modern Oracle install they should all be fired.
It's nothing that a trained monkey can't do.
Even a non-helpless consumer end user should be able to manage.

If you are replacing Windows on the bare metal, you already have a Windows license.
The cost of a Windows license you already have is $0.

The federal government is not.
It's f*cking amazing that a site full of IT geeks can't understand separation of powers or a default rule of deny all.
Knowing what you have to do is easy. Having the WILL to do it is much harder.
Another option is cancer. Get yourself cancer and you'll lose tons of weight without any effort in no time.
The walk is not to be discounted.
It won't have a significant enough impact on your daily calorie deficit but it will help keep your metabolism from shifting down into idle or "emergency mode".
Plus it's beneficial for it's own reasons.
Even tap water with a slice of lemon is nice...

They don't do this.
